Success Through Failure

Southern Methodist University Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering

At Southern Methodist University’s Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering, they’re taking a new approach at success, one through failure. At the Lyle school they encourage their students to try and fail in order to learn from their mistakes. They have a special dedicated facility called the Innovation Gymnasium in which students can go to build and work on real engineering challenges without worrying about grades.

"By moving us beyond print, and even beyond the web in some ways, and having the Historians TV conference channels running throughout the conference and in the hotel rooms it really helps to give a sense that we're reaching into the future."
